Monstera 'Monkey Leaf' is instantly recognisable as a Swiss Cheese Plant - but noticeably different to its larger cousin, Monstera deliciosa! The heart shaped leaves are laced with irregular holes that create fabulous silhouettes. Train this tender plant onto a moss pole as a showy climber, or let its stems trail luxuriantly from a high shelf. Chic and elegant, this house plant is ideal for adding an exotic feel to modern interiors. Perfect for creating a dramatic focal point in a lightly shaded position. Height: 120cm (48"). Spread: 90cm (36").

Monstera is an adaptable plant, growing happily in average room temperatures of 18C (65F) - 24C (75F), away from cold draughts and radiators. A brighly lit room, well away from direct sunlight is ideal, however it can cope with less light which will slow its growth.

Water Monstera regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between each watering. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Monstera appreciates a humid atmosphere - stand it on a tray filled with pebbles and water. As the water evaporates it will increase humidity around the plant. Misting the foliage daily with a fine spray will also help to improve humidity. Monstera can grow to large proportions over just a few years. Where necessary, cut back stems to contain it within the available space. This plant is best trained onto a moss pole to keep it tidy.
